Um, not to be the one who makes the obvious statement, but really this is a question best asked to a healthcare provider. I wouldn't want to mess around with my diet if I had diabetes or were borderline diabetic.

Honestly, Paplo, I think the only answer that can be given is the most obvious one, which is for your friend to speak with his doctor. Only a doctor can provide him with the right information regarding Atkins or any other diets.
